The main events of the 1956 revolution took place in Budapest, but other rural municipalities also joined in the capital’s demands for freedom. What happened in the towns and cities of Győr-Moson-Sopron County over the course of those days? Our tour features five locations to elaborate on what transpired, providing a reminder of what happened in those fateful hours. The book titled the Freedom Fight in Győr-Sopron county details one of the most important events in recent Hungarian history.

Many guidebooks advise tourists to observe where the locals eat when exploring a new town, because they will not be disappointed in those restaurants. In this tour, we have collected many restaurants and dishes from Győr, that are almost legends now. We have compiled the list so we can find everything in the city centre, and so we can combine gastronomy with a cosy sightseeing tour. Let us see the order of the meals: have a grilled mushroom sandwich for snack at 10 a.m., then have a cup of good strong black coffee and have lunch in the Milk Bar! As a dessert, try the divine Napoleon cake in the afternoon and the Venice Dream ice cream in the summer, then book a table at the Matróz for dinner! Enjoy your meal!

Indeed even kings and emperors have spent time in this nation of ours for one reason or another, perhaps they were dealing out justice, sitting counsel or fighting on the battlefield. Walk the paths they once did and become acquainted with the artefacts and relics that uphold their memories, stop for a moment and experience living history.
